In the direction of good.
Oh, there are trillions of planets with about a Billion people NOW. I'm just one of the Prototypes. But I was planning on putting that somewhere else. Like, a thread that's about my world and not only about me.

Hi! I'm Toni, but people also call me Iron Maiden. I built a quantum transdimensional-- well, it's probably too technical for you people, but it lets me exchange information with other worlds. Which... apparently means commenting on a web forum with a hyperactive kitten. That's new.
So, you know, I like starry nights and long walks on sandy beaches and punching terrorists, normal stuff really, what about you guys?

Hi Toni! I like making useful plants and improving the designs of old plants, and writing to people in other places, and bemaskand, and learning new things. I do not like punching people. What are beaches like, and why are they fun to walk on?

Toni, did you really find this forum on purpose? You might be the first, although come to think of it I'm not sure about Esthfora.

Beaches are the bit where the earth (soil bit you can walk on) meets the ocean (big watery bit). They're... sandy and stuff? I dunno, it's just a thing you say, I was always too busy to pay much attention and I can't walk on anything anymore.
What's bemaskand?
Leaf, you guys DIDN'T find the forum on purpose? Is this just... floating around your worlds' Internet? Where anyone can access it? O.O Christ, I don't *want* to know what SWORD would think of that.

My world contains two forum users. Since that's less than I'd expect by a factor of about a billion if it was really publicly available on every planet, there's got to be some kind of access restriction in place. Damned if I can tell you what it is or how it works, though.

The forum manifests differently in different worlds.

I also expect there is some form of access restriction in my world, but I have no clue what.

That sounds like it could be pretty or useful. Bemaskand is a drink. Possibly the best drink ever invented. It is made by cooking the inside of a bema fruit, chopping it into little pieces, straining out the juices, and adding spices. It is smooth and rich, and it isn't sweet or spicy or salty or bitter or pain flavored. I found this forum when it began appearing in my and my house mate's mail bin.

I am Hadassah. I am a golem and probationary Apprentice Guardian for the USA. I am here mostly to monitor interuniversal communication for my job, but the company here is interesting even if I am, by nature, not a very social individual. I come from an Earth style planet with many active deities.
I did find this forum intentionally, though I had to search for it via Plex with the keywords "Interuniversal Communication". This website was on the second page, which means that most people will never find it, given internet searching habits.

I'm Turquoise from the world the Uplides. I work as a Medium and Historian for my local Government on Pluma, one of seven Regions in my world.
I found this forum through talk from my coworkers who lurked here. After some time, I decided to join in hopes of learning about different worlds.

Greetings!
You can call me Grigori. I am a Doctor of Apokalypsi with the Centre for Circumferential Navigation; I found this place as a part of my work on the Grid Survey Project. I hadn't actually expected to find something like this in the Grid, but since my instruments are reporting that there's something metanormal going on, I am willing to tentatively accept the hypothesis that it is what it claims to be, while I gather more evidence.
On that note... like most places in the Grid, this site has a fairly standard appearance for a forum, although it does not seem to be accessible from the Internet proper (in my world?). For reference, by 'standard appearance', I mean that I'm currently standing in an open area marked off into sub-sections by data pillars, with bulletin boards set up to mark the different conversational threads. I perceive other users on the forum as shadowy presences, which can be examined to reveal their 'profile' data, but not as physical presences; again, as is common for ordinary users of websites who are not physically present within the Grid. In truth, I would not have expected anything at all unusual from this place just on seeing its appearance; it was only the fact that the place resonates a strange metanormal signature that is not Mania-based that attracted my attention.

Hello! I'm Tamako Maki. In my world (which is the same world as the Fortunomancer), when you introduce yourself you usually say what kind of magic you can do. Most people where I live can do two kinds. I can do all the kinds and have a magical capacity five times that of an average person because I am a magical superweapon! (An untrained, apolitical, very friendly magical superweapon who is also nineteen years old, keep your collective multiuniversal hair on).
I'm experimental and very new, so while I'm lots more powerful than the average person I'm not all that dangerous yet. Like, I can theoretically immobilize entire armies with less effort than a normal person has to use to immobilize one person (and also do grosser stuff to them but we're not going to go into that), but I haven't had a lot of practice. The Biomancer and the Metamancer only decided my magic was stable enough to use regularly a few months ago. I could probably, in theory use telemancy to get to your worlds but I don't know how to do that yet and wouldn't really want to even if I could unless I had a friend in another world I wanted to visit. So, basically, you don't have to be scared of me.
The Fortunomancer's letting me post on the forum because I don't really have a lot of friends. I mean, I probably had some before I volunteered to get experimented on but I don't remember them at all because some of the psionimancy stuff they had to do wiped out all my memories. Then I had to stay in Nimora Palace (place where all the Master Spellcrafters live and where the international peacekeeping council meets) for a while after that so the Biomancer and the others could make sure I didn't explode or anything. And now me and some other people are a part of the newest prophecy so we all have to stay at Nimora Palace and do team-building and PR stuff until someone figures out what we're supposed to do. The other prophecy people are nice and all, but there's only five of them. I like having friends and want to meet lots more people!
Some of the other prophecy people might post later, but for now it's just me!

Why are you a magical superweapon? Why is a magical superweapon a thing that happened?

Partly because the people who made me wanted to see if it was possible. Partly because of complicated political reasons. Basically, there's three countries in my world that are noticeably more magically powerful than the others. They've been keeping each other in check for a while, but one of them is showing signs of wanting to split off and go on a world-conquering spree all by themselves, and it looks like they have the resources to go through with it. That would be really really bad. So, magical superweapon!
I'm pretty sure there's something set up to shut me down if I go rogue? I'm powerful, but I'm not skilled, and power doesn't matter as much as skill most of the time. If someone's cast really powerful and really subtle spells on me, I sure can't tell, and I don't know how to get rid of them either.
